Your groupset (crankset, cassette, derailleurs) sets your available gear range, which directly affects the cadence you can actually hold at threshold and on climbs.
Data & metricsWeighted Average Power (WAP / NP) — What It Is and How to Interpret It
Plain average power lies. A steady 200 W ride and an interval session averaging 200 W load your body very differently. Weighted Average Power fixes that.
